ORLANDO, Fla. — Matt Harvey’s breakout season prematurely concluded on August 24 with just nine wins, but it was still impressive enough to have him finish tied for fourth in the National League Cy Young ballot with Braves closer Craig Kimbrel.

The winner, as expected, was the Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw with 29 of the 30 first-place votes. Adam Wainwright of the Cardinals finished second and got the other first-place vote. Marlins rookie Jose Fernandez took third place.

Harvey’s season was officially over on August 27 when an MRI revealed a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. He underwent Tommy John surgery in October and will miss the entire 2014 season.

Harvey, 24, was the National League's starting pitcher in the All-Star Game at Citi Field and finished third in the National League in ERA (2.27), second in WHIP (0.93), and 12th in strikeouts (191).

Kershaw led the league in ERA, WHIP, strikeouts, and was second in innings pitched.
